"Will we ever find my brother again?" Jimin whispers to Hoseok who had just undergone a heated arguement with Yoongi about Taehyung's missing case.

"We will baby okay?" Hoseok sighs, eyes turning soft upon meeting Jimin's. "It's just that there's someone who would rather give us a hard time. Maybe policemen are just too stupid to know what's right or wrong."

"I told you, Hoseok." Yoongi takes stand to defend himself. "We are trying our best for the case-"

"You don't even participate to those missing person-hunt activities you keep mentioning everytime we bought this topic!" Hoseok raises his voice, with Jimin flinching as his eyes switched between Yoongi and Hoseok.

"Well maybe if you are a good detective you would have solved the case!" Yoongi spat, obviously upset of being yelled at. "Self entitled motherfucker."

"Say that again?!" Hoseok growls, glaring at Yoongi before raising his fist in the air ready to punch him yet was stopped when Jimin finally steps in between them.

"Guy, stop!" Jimin raises his voice, eyes brimming with tears of frustration. "Fighting won't help us find my brother! You both are only competing, when the fuck are you both gonna actually help each other?!"

Yoongi shuts up immediately, pursing his lips as he gave Hoseok one last glare. "I'm sorry Jimin. If only Hoseok leaves me alone of what I do then we won't have problems."

Jimin huffs, not buying whatever Yoongi had said. "This is what you both want right? To fight and waste time?" He raised his hands in the air in defeat. "Fine. You guys settle your shits. I'll find my brother without your help." He glares at the two of them, hurrying to grab his jacket and important necessities.

"Jimin, babe-" Hoseok tried to hold him back but the younger was stubborn. "I'll be out for awhile." Was all that he said before going out, taking their car with him as he drove somewhere in the city to clear off his thoughts.

Even if Jungkook did threaten him way back when he was stabbed- he didn't give a fuck now. He was tired of constantly worrying for his own brother, if he's safe or already even dead.

Jimin's grip on the steering wheel tightens, turning to the left as he parks his car by a café. He needed some time alone- to maybe think of something to save his brother from misery.

He knew that deep inside, Taehyung was suffering. Maybe he was tortured- traumatized by how cruel Jungkook was. He felt bad, so bad about not being able to stand up for his younger brother.

If only he had tagged along when he went to the club. This wouldn't have happened to any of them. Hoseok and Yoongi wouldn't fight anymore, and maybe everything will be finally peaceful and happy.

"What's your order, sir?" The cashier asks, with Jimin softly stating what he wanted before paying for it. "Just one strawberry frappe please."

He sat down by a vacant chair, waiting for his order as he kills time by using his phone- ignoring the messages his boyfriends had been spamming him about.

His mind was full of thoughs- the ones that are toxic and negative, playing situations that his brother might have undergone while he stayed scared and silent.

Will everything change, if he told Yoongi?

He takes a sip on his frappe upon it being served. He had tried texting Taehyung but he was out of reach.

"No, I just can't give up. Not now that Hoseok and Yoongi are hopeless about this case." His fists clenched, hissing as he looks out of the window trying to calm himself down.

Jimin spent his time reflecting on himself, trying to connect dots that had confused him rather than to give any clues of Taehyung's whereabouts.

With his time being spent like that, he couldn't helo but feel hopeless- guilty of everything that had happened. If only he wasn't so scared of what Jungkook could've done. Maybe the sick male would be in jail forever.

"Damnit," He cussed, running his hands to his hair as he closes his eyes in pure distress.

He wanted to save his brother so bad- but how? He was alone, his boyfriends are always busy with investigating that ends up with nothing but excuses.

After a short while of debating to himself, his phone rang. It moved with every vibrations- his ringtone faintly playing as he looks at the screen to see it was an unknown number.

Jimin picks it up. "Hello?"

"Hyung." A low voice greets him. Jimin's eyes widens, his heart stopping for a split second as he almost rose from his seat upon recognizing the voice.

"T-taehyung?! Is that you?" He asks, looking around incase the younger was nearby or maybe even standing outside.

"Hyung, please help me." Taehyung pleads from the other line, though his voice was oddly calm. "I'm.. Too scared to go back to him. I can't."

"You don't have to, Taehyung." Jimin tried to assure, finishing his drinking before collecting his stuff. "Can you tell me where you are? I'll help you."

"I.. Don't know where I am hyung, no one knows." Taehyung sounded hopeless this time, like he was slowly losing his positivity in life.

This wasn't the Taehyung before.

"Okay, I'll just.. Find you. Can you find a wide road way? Maybe you'll see where you are." Jimin hurried back to his car, putting the phone on loud speaker as he turns the engine of his car.

"Please hyung, help me. I don't like it anymore. I-I just wanna escape." His brother's voice cracks by the last sentence, sending a gush of pain to Jimin's heart. It hurt to hear his younger brother in pain or even just crying.

He figured that he probably should do something quick to rescue him.

"I'll be there Taehyung. I will send backup okay? You'll be safe." Jimin starts to drive back home, knowing his boyfriends would be waiting for this sudden news.

"Wait, Jimin." Taehyung suddenly interrupts. "Whatever happens, please don't tell Yoongi. Please don't."

It almost sounded like he was begging, faint sniffles can be heard at the background. Jimin was confused, Yoongi was a policeman- why can't he know anything about it?

"But, Tae.." Jimin tried to reason but Taehyung's sobs became loud.

"Please! I beg you, things will get worse. Just-- promise me you won't tell him." Jimin bit his lower lip, nodding his head but realized that the male wouldn't see.

"Okay, Tae. Just hold on for me okay? I won't tell him." Jimin drove faster, not wanting to waste any time as Taehyung was in such a vulnerable state.

If only he knew that Taehyung was slowly turning into a monster like Jungkook.
